New on PlayStation Store: MLB 14, Soul Sacrifice Delta, more!

After a small delay we’re happy to let MLB 14: The Show for PS4 out into the wild, so get your bat and pitching arm all set for a game of round… I mean baseball!

Soul Sacrifice Delta, an expanded version of last year’s PS Vita action RPG hit is here. Delta boasts additional enemy princesses not as elegant looking as you would otherwise know them, the option to now join the order of Grim and more. Delta includes the full game, so anyone who didn’t jump on last year can do so without any worries.

Comments

Average imo, but good, or should say sensible price for ps4 game, don’t agree you should of said ‘short’ delay though Jawad, delay would of been sufficient, but adding short is not really for you to say, again imo.

Any word on when/if uk/eu ps4 owners will get pre orders for watchdogs or the last of us, the us ps4 store has had them for over a month i was hoping we would of got at least one by now but as per usual we get jack.

the pre download feature that we got in the last system update is a non feature for us with the last of games to pre order.

According to a Japanese guy I met on Monster Hunter 3 HD, Capcom and Sony have issues…oddly though that seemingly only affects SCEE as the US has Sengoku Basara avatars, not to mention loads of others to make you wince and well Japan has Dragon’s Dogma Quest on vita and oh what’s that Monster Hunter Frontier G, and enough avatars to make you think you were in Capcomland

Not only that, according to insider info it’s a big pain period for companies to put avatars on the store, they have to go through a lot of forms and stuff.

Which I don’t understand why Sony EU makes it so complicated. It takes no more than a couple of minutes (unless you’re really bad with Photoshop) to create an avatar out of existing art and for 25 cents each, even if 5-10 cents goes to Sony, is easy money.

Well still good update Serious Same 3 didnt see that coming aslo good see Cell demage back in HD means psn team can take ps2 vision off but any trials this week and demos well nope thx jaward thx aswer.

Hi Jawad, thanks for the update. Nothing for me this week, but I do have an issue I’d like to raise.

Just wondering, I brought this up in the weekly recap post, but are there any plans to clean up the Vita store at all? At the moment it’s a bit of a mess.

1) There’s a lot of “invisible” games. When you got to all Vita games you don’t get all Vita games at all. Off the top of my head I can name A-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, the outdated FIFA titles, LEGO Legends of Chima (possibly some of the other LEGO games too), Hotline Miami, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, The Sly Trilogy and one of the Atelier games are all missing. They can be found with the search function, but what about new Vita owners who don’t know that? They might not know that a game they like is readily available to download because it doesn’t appear under “all” Vita games.

2) There are apps and add-ons cluttering the all Vita games section. GTA5 iFruit, Killzone art book, an Invizimals add-on etc. It doesn’t look very tidy and they shouldn’t be there since they’re not Vita games.

3) Sly Cooper Thieves in Time is listed twice in a row. One is free (cross-buy) the other is to purchase. Again they shouldn’t be there, it just looks messy.

Please understand I’m only saying this because I care, but right now the Vita store isn’t very convenient to navigate. It would be nice if this was all cleared up for a nicer experience when browsing the Vita store.

ghost recon raven strike dlc has supposedly been on sale for the last 2 weeks, yet disappeared from the store on the day the sale began, this must be about my 10th post on these forums regarding this, could somebody please reply and let me know whats going on?

I give up, for the last 2 weeks i’ve been trying to get a response from someone on this blog and from help@ukplaystation, not one single response in that time, well done for bringing customer service to a whole new level!!

man i feel so bad for you and i really hope this gets fixed so you can get the dlc asap. im sorry i cant help you in any way and im sorry customer services and the blog staff seem to not be bothered about you or the multiple comments you have posted on the blog. this is a joke thats just not funny so sony plz help this person out.

Konami announced Silent Hill Origins and Shattered Memories PSP versions were coming to the store and emphasised that they would be for Vita. What happens next? They get here and they’re only PSP compatible (which really makes me scratch my head, you should be steering people away from the PSP at this point and toward the Vita) so what’s the deal with that? Is this going to be fixed? Because Konami expressly said they were coming to Vita, so somethings gone horribly wrong somewhere down the pipeline.

uhhh the price on Conception II is pretty poor, I bought the CE version for £29.95 and that included postage. I’m guessing when Mind 0 releases it will have the same price – good thing I thought to import that and as Ragnarok Odyssey Ace is now dropping in price, guess I will import that after Mind 0 arrives.

1. Get us Japan imports games that landed on US PSN this week. You can’t say that you have problems with right to those titles, can you?

2. Do not support games that have physical release in USA and have only digital version in Europe. Buying it for 40 EUR means you will pay more and get less (day 1 collector edition was cheaper). Do NOT TOLERATE Discirimination.

Dear PS Plus Subscribers, have you noticed, If you’re a Plus member since 2012, in December you get the LIMBO for PS3, as a part of the IGC. A few months later, the Vita version released and it was free, because of the Cross Buy feature. Now if you check the your download list, the LIMBO is missing, and if you check in the Store, it’s 7.99GBP!
Dear Sony, if I get a game, that part of the IGC, it should be free, until I have a subscription, isn’t it? So how could it be that I have to pay for the LIMBO while I have a Plus subscription?!

Wow, this is a joke? This is, how should work the IGC:
“If you’ve downloaded a game or added it to your download list before it is removed from the IGC, you will be able to play it for as long as you are a member of PlayStation®Plus”

Sure about this?. according to Fred on weekend round up, we keep EVERY plus game! so you really should post that in this weekends round up.
btw. i reported Limbo, Tomb Raider Underworld and WipeoutHD as missing from downloads a few weeks ago, Fred replied saying he’d pass it on to relevant people. Also it is Not just me missing these plus games, i notice many posts regarding these and others on the ps forums, so there is a big problem, but IF this Limbo business is actually true then please mention it further, a link or address of info would help as well.

this cant be happening to everyone, i dont have limbo on my vita atm and as a result of this post i went to the store on my vita to check and limbo is both in my download list and coming up as purchased when i use the search function.

the only game that ever vanished from my list was wipeout hd and when i called sony they applied a voucher as if i had bought it again to get it back on my dl list.

Probably because Sony knows that MLB isn’t that popular for the normal European and they hope more folks that normally don’t buy the game will do it if they lower the price. It’s a nice move from Sony anyway.

Nice update, especially with the monthly sale. But I hope I could ask you some other questions this way.

1) When will the Vita Slim become available for the rest of the Europe outside UK? I would really like to buy one already.
2) Will there be some sort of system transfer possibility from older Vita model to a new one, that transfers everything, even console’s trophy data, on the other console? If it would store the data only on PSN account, it wouldn’t be a problem, but since it also keeps system-specific data, I wouldn’t want to have an incomplete trophy data on my console just because I earned trophies on my older console.
3) Since Europe’s getting so many niche Vita games as digital-only releases, how about making the memory cards less expensive?
4) Any possibility to make Vita games’ save data separate files like with PSP? It would be way better than to store full games on computer just to keep the saves if one doesn’t fancy keeping a huge game on memory card just to keep the save file in there.
5) Any chance of seeing some Sony-published PSP games on PSN that aren’t still there, even though they have seen a physical release in Europe? Parappa comes to mind. Or any possibility of releasing some PSP games only found in US PSN as some sort of import releases like with some of the PS1 games you have brought over?

Conception 2 $58.95
Why is this now becoming a standard price for vita games? This is ridiculous the u.s blog would freak out if vita games started costing $45 instead of $40. I would like some explanation about this trend because NIS has completely ignored me when I enquired about demon gaze being priced at $58.95

@Baney: They’re still part of the PAL region, though. And out of all the PAL regions, they get shafted the most. It’s been like that since gaming started, they have to wait longer and pay premium and for many years they censored games or straight up banned them.

Then again, they have kangaroos and koalas, so that kind of balances things out.

I’ve just remembered old article I found on internet:
gamekeysnow.com/blog/how-many-hours-do-you-have-to-work-to-buy-a-pc-game

In Australia you need to work 3 hours to buy new game….
In Poland you need to work 8.36 hours to buy new game….

So yeah Australian have hard time with SCEE… but I think they are not the only one here We all have hard time with SCEE. But yeah I also feel bad about Australians… the only thing we can do is -> complain as much as we can

will get Soul Sacrifice Delta, but as usual atlus show there greed, should of been the same price as soul. as much as i liked the demo i will not be getting conception 2 until it goes on sale, think a lot of others will as well. dreadful greedy company

The answer here is typical of what many people seem to have been noticing lately, EU are just a afterthought it seems, am not bothered about spiderman itself, but it is yet another victim of US special treatment. this is just so wrong, just because thats how it had to be a while back, there should be no excuse for this stuff happening today, i really wonder what would happen if sen prevented access to other regions stores, even if it was only for future content, ie you keep whatever you’d already bought. like to see this blog then.

Jawad can your team negotiate or whatever on bringing the rest of their PSP & PS One games to the Vita as there is a fair number on the store which I paid for but are still incompatible and have been for the past 2 years.

Serious sam 3 came out of nowhere!
Also great price for MLB on ps4, hopefully all exclusives can release at this price?
And lastly [DELETED] at the football manager dlc and pricing!? 65p per magic sponge, if you bought one everytime a player got injured you’d easily spend a tenner a season. Given the amount of key injuries I seem to get makes me think something is not quite right.

i think there going to a party on friday night, but not sure if they drink ale or spirits…
think you really should of got it last time, as unless it enters igc i doubt it will enter anything else anytime soon. Still maybe if they drink enough rum on friday.

So Silent Hill Shattered Memories and SH Origins finally arrived a few weeks ago. However to my immense dissapointment they don’t work on my vita… which is truly odd since their US counterparts do. Get. It. Fixed.

hi jawad i brought dead nation on ps3 i think in 2012 and still having a problem with the vita version not classing it as a cross buy strangely the DLC was fine and showed free for vita so just the game.

also i hope you tube ps4 wil be added
ranking you trophies to latest trophies you geting like on ps3
also ad simbol online – online buth not want to play whith others – online buth not on ps4 ( auto dowload…)-ofline.

also after latest patch i see when peopel in mi friend list are in a party = why i need to get mesage ????( if them want to invite you them send mesage )
also option to make warning mesage list empty

OpelManiac93 on ps3 you tube in belgium = long time out under my channels in the xmb menu .

The Vita PSN infrastructure and/or the Vita’s firmware is ridiculously slow/buggy/broken. I bought a Vita day-1 and for a long time I had no problems with downloading from PSN directly on to the Vita. Something changed a while ago, It could have been one of the latest firmware upgrades, though I’m not sure… Now all big downloads stop all the time and I have to babysit them to get them done. On top that I get excruciatingly slow download speeds, usually a little slower than 1 MB/s. I have a 60 Mbit fiber optic line! Steam and other services have no problems feeding me 7 MB/s for speedy downloads. Please fix this sad situation, Sony. Though I get the feeling that the Vita is completely unloved by SCEE and it’s relegated to some low priority on PSN and throughout the SCEE orginazation. The current PSN experience on the Vita is abysmal – are you going to fix this?

Ah, didn’t think Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 3 would release on Vita today… oh well… Hopefully this month at least… If they can release it day 1 on iOS, I’d expect the same for Vita (Though its probably closer to the console version than the mobile version).
Other than that great update. Nice surprise to see Soul Sacrifice Delta, forgot all about that!

Will we see Dustforce DLC Alpha Map Pack for EU? Also, no XBlaze or Ragnarork Oydessy Ace demo for EU?

Also, to add to the invisible games comment above, there’s also a number of invisible DLC as well as demos (Dead or Alive 5+ for example) in the store that you have to search for for them to show up or only available if you select the game and then see ‘Trial’ below the ‘Buy’ option.
